I just completed a blanket chest for my wife. I saw the plan in a magazine and thought I would surprise her with it. It took me about seven months because I got side tracked into making a gavel for a friend...which I never used a lathe and then I was hooked.
Back to the blanket chest.
It is made of pine and the measurements are 4' L X 29" H X 24" D
kinda big but my wife is into quilting so she should fill it up qiuckly.
I lined the inside with cedar and both draws are 24"w X 20" D
